Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015193537A1] The invention relates to a louvered separator for separating water from an air flow. The louvered separator comprises a number of vertical slat structures having a constant profile, horizontally spaced from each other so as to form horizontally tortuous separating channels (1) in the spaces between the slats. The slat structures are provided with water-collecting troughs (2,3). The slat structure comprises two separate slats having differing constant profiles; in the air flow direction (4) a foremost front slat (5) and a following back slat (6). The front slat comprises, in the flow direction, a leading edge (7), a middle area (8) and a trailing edge (9), and the back slat comprises, in the flow direction, a leading edge (10), a middle area (11) and a trailing edge (12). According to the invention, the water-collecting trough (2,3) is limited to the area of the trailing edge (12) of the back slat (6), so that the front slat (5) entirely, and the back slat (6) for more than a half of its length from the leading edge (10) towards the trailing edge (12), form only even surfaces to guide the flow.
